Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA, is a potentially serious sleep disorder that results in breathing interruptions during sleep. Patients suffer from repeated starting and stopping of breathing during sleep, which can result in:
- Loud snoring
- Fatigue and daytime sleepiness
- Headaches
- Cardiovascular problems
- Sleep-deprived partners
- Impaired cognitive abilities
- High blood-pressure
CPAP therapy and equipment is one of the most common methods of treating OSA. While effective, patients may report issues with pricing and discomfort, such as:
- High co-pay or difficulty getting insurance coverage
- Embarrassment using the CPAP mask and equipment
- Discomfort using the CPAP mask and equipment
- Frustration with noise levels
- Difficulty traveling with the CPAP equipment
- Difficulty cleaning the mask and tubes
EPAP retains the efficacy of CPAP therapy without the cumbersome equipment, cost, or need for electricity. Contact us or your provider for more information.
